Hi, I have a question of the output of readprofile. I got output, for example, $ /usr/sbin/readprofile -m /boot/System.map|sort -rn|head 713683 total 0.6772 705929 default_idle 17648.2250 743 kmalloc 1.6294 491 handle_IRQ_event 5.3370 371 __rdtsc_delay 13.2500 348 kmem_cache_alloc 0.8878 330 kfree 0.5288 285 unix_poll 1.9257 265 system_call 4.7321 264 do_select 0.5546 Does kmalloc spend '743' clock ticks? If so, what does 'clock ticks' mean? My note is the following $ cat /proc/cpuinfo processor : 0 vendor_id : GenuineIntel cpu family : 6 model : 8 model name : Pentium III (Coppermine) stepping : 6 cpu MHz : 597.416 cache size : 256 KB fdiv_bug : no hlt_bug : no f00f_bug : no coma_bug : no fpu : yes fpu_exception : yes cpuid level : 2 wp : yes flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 mmx fxsr sse bogomips : 1192.75 I have boot "profile=2" Please cc to me, because I'm not on the kernelnewbies mailing list.
